Description
Applied Microbiology International (AMI) offers the Student Travel Bursary to support students and trainees attending AMI or specific AMI-sponsored scientific events. Eligible events include conferences, symposia, workshops, webinars, and training courses. The bursary supports event participation and academic and professional development rather than directly funding a research project. Trainee Members on clinical pathways or apprenticeships are encouraged to apply.
Fair and equitable access is central to the programme. With limited funds, AMI asks applicants to explore departmental support first so that bursaries can be reserved for those with the greatest financial need. The programme is highly competitive, but AMI aims to support as many eligible members as available funding allows.
